The Strength Of A Man
by Jacqueline Marie Griffiths
The strength of a man isn’t seen in the width of his shoulders.
It’s in the width of his arms that encircle you.
The strength of a man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice.
It’s in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn’t how many buddies he has.
It’s how good of buddies he is with his children.
The strength of a man isn’t in how respected he is at work.
It’s in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn’t in how hard he hits.
It’s in how tender he touches.
The strength in a man isn’t in the hair on his chest.
It’s in his Heart…that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn’t how many women he’s loved.
It’s in can he be true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn’t in the weight he can lift.
It’s in the burdens he can carry.
